Fun in the snow!

Your wilderness base at the edge of Oulanka National Park is a truly spectacular setting for this fun filled holiday. Your traditional log farmhouse accommodation is veiled by deep forest and tucked away in the beautiful Finnish countryside.

During your stay you’ll have plenty of time to build igloos and have snowball fights! You can also try ice fishing, or walk to the summit of Ukko Koli for Finland's most famous view over icy Lake Pielinen. If you're lucky, and the night sky is clear, then you may glimpse the magical Northern Lights

Reindeer Farm

You can visit the reindeer farm and museum wheere you watch a traditional ceremony performed by the Sami people, before enjoying hot drinks around an open fire. During your visit you will get the chance to ride a reindeer sleigh and try your hand at lassooing!

Husky Dog-sledding

A highlight of the week will certainly be time on the husky farm and playing with the puppies. Learn how to harness your dog team and handle the sled, then it's off through pristine wooded wilderness only hearing the crisp snow crackle and the odd bark from the dogs as you go.
